To all whom it may concern:

lit)

it lmown that 1, CHARLES L. Bunmolr, 'a'citizen of the United States, residing at London, in the county of Middlesex, ltng land, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Packets and Processes of Making Same, of which the following is a lull, clear, concise, and exact description, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification.

My invention relates to packets and is concerned with the wrapping of cylindrical bodies, such as the stacks of coins which are made up in considerable quantities in banks and other industrial establishments.

lt is the object of my invention toprovide a packet'which' is simple and efficient, and to provide a method by which they may be made readily and conveniently.

The primary purpose,- of course, is to provide a packet which-will retain its form and which will not become unfolded, and it is an important feature of my invention that 1 secure these results without the use of any auxiliary parts. In other words, the folding of the packet is such that it will retain itself in proper form in such a way that no ordinary handlin will disarrange it.

The packet an recess of my invention are illustrated in t e accompanying drawin ,in which V igure '1 shows the blank used for the wrapper; Fig. 2 illustrates the first step in the paper wrapped ti htly about the cylindrical surthe center line; the idea is to provide an obbit the process; Figs'B, 4:, 5 and 6 show succeeding steps; and Fig. 7 shows the jfinished packet,

The article to be wrapped is cylindrical and is indicatedi'n dotte lines at a in Fig. 2 and in full lines at a in Fig.1.. The dotted lines in Fi 1 bound the central. zones of bilanks, which zones. are to be face of the ody a. It will be noted in Fig. l'that the finishing edge :1 is oblique to lique finishing ed e, since such an edge lies closerto. the cylindrical surface than an edge parallel to the axis of the cylinder would. The starting edge 0 may be straight.

but preferabl is cut at an an 1e which will make it para el with the finis ing edge, the advantage being that the wrappers may be .cut from a continuous strip or roll of paper with the least trouble and the greatest economy of paper.

. the

oft e second fold, the essence of the inven-" "nerbr by drop-ping the coins in the paper after it has been made in cylindrical form. The body is disposed approximately midway between the top and bottom of the blank, as illustrated by the dotted lines in Fig.4 and the top and bottom will have the appearance of the arrangement shown in Fig. 2. The next step in the process, taking either one end or 'both at a tune, is to fold the projecting end p of the paper by preming 1t down at one side on the top of the cylindrical body a. The result of this step is shown in Fig. 3. It will be noted that the blanks are of such width that the projecting end of the tube thusformed will be of sulficient length to admit of complete folding but should not much exceed in length the diameter of the cylindrical body. The next step in the process is to fold the projecting paper 19 over substantially at right angles to the first fold. This will result in the arrangement shown in Fig. 4. The next step in the process is to fold the projecting paper 7) over on the same line that the first fold was made but in the opposite (llIBCtiOIly and the result is the arrangement shown in Fig. 5. The next step is to fold the remaining portion of p in such a manner that the excess of paper at the extremity of ;0 may be turned in and folded or tucked under the last preceding foldythis is easiest of accomplishment if the last fold is made by pressing the paper 79 at an angle of about from the direction of the last preceding fold. This is shown in .Fig. 6. The third operation may be carried out by pressing down aper in an opposite direction from that tion consists in the turning of the last remaining end of p under the edge of the last preceding fold, whereby I secure that the packet does not come undone in handling, and a neat appearance is obtained. Additional Security may be obtained by m ming'one or more of the folds clip as they are pressed into position.

I claim; as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. A packet comprising a cylindrical tube folded 1n at the ends by a series ofjolds successively one over the other, "each of said folds being at approximately right angles .to theppreceding fold, the last fold having a sheet of pep'er with an oblique 1e nal edge, said tubular 17011 being folds in at its end folded back upon itseif and tuckmi under the next pr fomr 2. A. packet cemprising a tubular r011 tgit itu the ends by a series of folds successively one over the other, each of said. folds being at approximately ri%ht-engles to the preemiing fold, the last 016; having its end folded back upon itself and tucked under the next 10 preceding fold.

In witness whereof I hereunto subscribe my name this 11th day of October A. 1).,
